The Pirate Bay Domain Pulled Offline By Greenland Revolt

Looks like the Pirate Bay needs a plan B, pronto, as its switch to thepiratebay.gl earlier in the week to escape Sweden's wrath, looks like it's put it in hot water, resulting its new .gl domains being pulled offline, as Greenland doesn't want it sullying its waters.

It seems Greenland's domain registry, Tele-Post, doesn't like having the pirates on its books, telling TorrentFreak that it was going to "block access to two domains operated by file-sharing network The Pirate Bay".

It seems like Tele-Post has already carried out its threat, as a quick query marks the domains thepiratebay.gl and piratebay.gl as suspended. What does that mean? Well, for now, you'll have to resort to bare IP addresses to access it, as TPB has effectively been pulled off the web through of a lack of an active domain.

There's nothing to stop TPB registering and activating another domain name, of course, but that's going to take time. Where the pirates will dock next, who knows. Maybe they'll be after a new .ml domain soon? [TorrentFreak]
